B&H Kosher Dairy Restaurant on 2nd Avenue near St Mark’s Place was founded in 1938 by Abie Bergson and Jack Heller, when Second Avenue from 14th Street to Houston Street was considered “The Jewish Rialto” due to the large numbers of Yiddish theaters along the Avenue. The current owners of B&H are husband-and-wife team Aleksandra (Ola) and Fawzy Abdelwahed. Fawzy purchased the restaurant in 2003, and Ola joined him two years later. Both of them are immigrants (Ola a Catholic from Poland and Fawzy a Muslim from Egypt), who not only embrace the neighborhood’s diversity but still offer the same classic Jewish kosher comfort food (no meat served) including latkes, knishes, borscht, blintzes, pierogi, tuna sandwiches and their famous homemade challah bread.

Today, we visited @bandhdairy and Ola not only had just baked homemade challah bread 
(swipe left for 2nd photo) but she also was at the stove making fresh blintzes (swipe left for 3rd photo of our order of 2 blintzes filled with farmers cheese and blueberries 
as well as an order of challah French toast and the Wednesday special for only $9 consisting of a grilled cheese 
sandwich on challah bread and cup of soup (we chose mushroom barley but they also had borscht, vegetarian noodle and matzoh ball soup available). Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and made with love 
. We can’t overstate that this diner not only has incredible food which is very reasonably priced but the atmosphere is perfect as Ola and the staff take care of everyone as if you are a member of their family. (Swipe left for 4th & 5th photos of interior and Ola & staff with Karla)
